Once upon a time Tim Flavin shaped the electrons to say...
>Been seeing when a OR-U drops or is reset that unit may take several
>minutes to redial into us. I have the location set to auto and dial group
>2 with both s1 and s2 set to dial group 2

It shouldn't take 'several' minutes, but I think it waits a minute before
trying again. This is legacy - modems take a while to reset and be ready
to redial, so there was this pause. This has come up once or twice before
and I've floated the idea of making the wait timer more intelligent - to
not wait as long when dialing out on ISDN.

>time set for in the location table, seem to dial back into us much faster
>than those with an idle time set, is there any relation to the idle
>setting in the location table and the length of time waiting to bring the
>connection back?

There should not be any relation there.
